David Kleinfeld's group at UCSD studies issues in Systems Neuroscience, with a focus on perception and sensorimotor control in the vibrissa system as well as on the topology and neuronal coupling of corticol vasculature.

He will speak on the latter topic, with a focus on the use of nonlinear imaging to reveal the nature of cortical blood flow. This work revealed points of robustness versus weakness, hence the relation to microinfarcts in disease, as well as points of likely neuronal control.

Is there anything that Meryl Streep can't do as an actress? One can only marvel at her virtuoso performance as Britain's Margaret Thatcher, the hard-ass ultraconservative who became the first woman prime minister, from 1979 to 1990.

Iron Lady – a kind of female spin on King Lear – is framed with Thatcher – weakened by old age – remembering her youth, her fight for political prominence in a world of men, her marriage. The sharp economy of Phyllida Lloyd's direction allows the incontestably great Streep to take impressionistic snatches of a life and build a woman in full. This is acting of the highest order. –Rolling Stone

Previous studies have indicated that, electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillations in the theta frequency range distributed over frontal regions of the scalp reflect a mechanism for error processing. We investigated an alternative hypothesis that such theta oscillations reflect processing of infrequent task-relevant events (not errors per se), which is manifested in the time-domain as the N200 component of the event-related brain potential (ERP). We also showed that N200 and theta energy dissociate in manifesting these cognitive processes so that N200 was a good measure for reward vs. no-reward conditions whereas theta was primarily sensitive to unexpectedness.
